Lower and warmer than Cusco, the Sacred Valley is the perfect place to acclimatize in style — think riverside lodges, weaving communities, salt pans and Inca fortresses.
Stretching along the Urubamba River between Pisac and Ollantaytambo, the valley was the agricultural heart of the Inca Empire. Today it is home to some of Peru’s finest boutique hotels.
Spend your days visiting traditional markets, cooking with local families, riding Peruvian Paso horses or cycling between villages.
